Some of the many women who "outshined the men they were supposed to stand behind."

All Queens Consorts and Regents or Empresses of Europe from the 11th century to the 20th century.

Not all of these women were Rulers in their own right or won major battles, or even greatly in influenced politics; however all of these women made an inpact. Whether they were the scandal of court or applauded for their good nature, or in many cases: a truely tragic figure of History; these amazing Ladies certainly are remembered.

(Feel free to ask who is who )

Including:Queens of France: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Blanche of Castile, Anne of Bretagne, Catherine de Medici, Margaret of Valois, Marie de Medici, Marie Antoniette, Josephine de Beauharnais.

Hey, you forgot Queen Margrete I, whom united Denmark, Norway and Sweden into Kalmarunion! Yeah, I konw that it's hard to remeber all queens... But why Alexandra Feodorovna? The only thing, she did, was her relationship with Rasputin, whom was the fate of the Russian Empire.

Forgot to add that Poland had another famous queen crowned in 16 October 1384 and that was Jadwiga of Poland, she is venerated by the Roman Catholic Church as Saint Hedwig, where she is the patron saint of queens and a United Europe.

This is great. I'm so glad there is some attention on other queens for once. Usually people focus solely on Henry VIII's six wives, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Marie Antoinette, Mary Stuart, Bloody Mary, Elizabeth I, and Josephine. I really like that you included Marguerite d'Anjou. XD
